DESCRIPTION:
Good book I personally like this book. It is not for the light of heart, and for those of you that have no idea what the term reverse engineering means. If you have a knowledge of reverse engineering, or have some experience in analyzing binaries. This is an excellent tool.. "unique reference" according to Jeff Pike. I've had this book for about 6 months now. I've read it, and I've worked through about a third of the code samples.This book starts of with an intro on programming languages that touches on issues relevant to C, C++, Perl, Java, C#, and others that vulnerability researchers might be interested in. The 2nd chapter on NASL (Nessus) scripting is a little sparse, but is suitable for a quick reference.The next three chapters are devoted to BSD, Windows, and Java sockets respecti. Good for what it is I'd say that most people getting a book like this will already be involved with programming a bit. Enough to know what a socket is, how to write a program that uses sockets, etc However, I could be wrong.I guess what I thought was that this book was going to kind of tie everything in together such as "ok, now that you know how to write sockets, we're going to write an exploit that opens a backdoor for you!" However, either I glanced over sections too much, or it just doesn'

4. *Provides working code and scripts in all of the most common programming languages for readers to use TODAY to defend their networks.. Coding Tools – The culmination of the previous four sections, coding tools brings all of the techniques that you have learned to the forefront. Porting – Due to the differences between operating platforms and language implementations on those platforms, it is a common practice to modify an original body of code to work on a different platforms. Sockets – The technology that allows programs and scripts to communicate over a network is sockets. With the background technologies and techniques you will now be able to code quick utilities that will not only make you more productive, they will arm you with an extremely valuable skill that wi
